How is a based 90s antenna a joke to you? I would take it anytime over some weird USB-C!

I used to have a phone which allowed me to plug an external antenna into the USB port. I sorely miss that.

Moto g phones used headphone cables as FM antennas. Not sure if they still do though.

Only thing I’d change is moving the volume buttons to the right side with the power button. The number of times I’ve taken a screenshot trying to un/lock with my left index finger is astronomically high.

And USB-C.

Fantastic! But it's missing the most important thing: USB-C

And the 3.5mm Audio

Headphone jack is in the components list, keep scrolling!

This is so lame. Apple would never allow a 3.5mm jack even in a parody app. (j/k, fun stuff as always by Neal)

Winter is coming here in Europe. Having a phone with FM receiver is going to be very useful.

Anyone else try to figure out what the reflection texture is? I think it's Apple Park.

And why is it called USB C anyway? It's not shaped like a C at all!

It's 2 Cs touching each other!

I clicked present without adding anything, my design uses a telepathic interface, you simply think about it. If you see something, the image is transferred to the memory and uploaded to the cloud by simply desiring that occur. No microphone or earphones are needed, no Bluetooth. I call it the tiPhone it will be out in 2031, place your pre-orders now.

This needs a way to share the results!

Present (top right) → Download video (bottom centre).

Oh, the button does not show up for me :(

Where USB-C?

You can add a rotary dial, copter blades, and wheels. But a USB-C is too silly even for a parody, that is just taking it too far.

I think the volume and power button labels are reversed.
